Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Beauport—Limoilou for his speech. I have several questions I would like to ask him.
First, is he aware that regional representation is one of the criteria that will be considered by the committee and by the Prime Minister?
Is he also aware that we support the motion that is before us today?
Can he recognize that the process proposed by the government is far better than the process used over the past 10 years? The bar was set very low.
Can he also recognize that the process will be very open and transparent? Does he recognize that for the first time in Canada's history, we will formalize what I think is an essential criteria, the bilingualism of Supreme Court justices, which is already a requirement for the position?
Can he recognize that?
